Chapter 51 Food Donation Movement
The situation reported by Xu Chengyan suddenly felt a little uneasy in Cao Rui'an, but he caught him off guard and could not guess the truth for a while.
He had nodded and said, "Okay, I've recorded this matter. I will continue to investigate when I go back and see what's the reason."
After a pause, Cao Rui'an thought about it again and continued, "Chengyan, since you are determined to fight, I really have a task here, which is the news the webmaster just received, but it is very difficult, so you might as well consider it."
"What mission? Just give me the order!" Xu Chengyan asked quickly. He knew that this mission was not simple after hearing Cao Rui'an's tone.
"This is how it is..." Cao Rui'an introduced.
It turned out that wars in Shanxi were frequent at this time. The Japanese military not only arranged a heavy confrontation with the National Army on the Zhongtiao Mountain line, but also dispatched a large number of troops to launch an attack on the northwestern base of the Red Party. At present, almost all the wars in northern China are concentrated in this land of Shanxi, with smoke everywhere and constant wars.
At present, the Japanese have invested a lot of military forces in Shanxi. In order to maintain and support this protracted war, they have plundered civilian wealth and food resources to carry out the so-called strategy of fighting to support the war.
But even so, the materials collected were not enough to make ends meet, especially in terms of food. Even if the pseudo-government agencies in various places were increasingly levied, the people in the occupied areas had been squeezed to the extreme, and even the food was handed over, without any excess food, so the results were very small and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.
So Japan has made a new move, led by Nikkei Company to host businesses, landlords and wealthy families in the occupied areas of Shanxi, and are preparing to organize a large-scale grain donation campaign.
Because these people were first of all, they were willing to obey the Japanese rule on the surface and had a slight relationship with the pseudo-government, so the Japanese could not do it too ugly, so this trick came up.
This sport is called "independent donation of grain", but in fact it is just a robbery of these wealthy households who have the ability to store grain under the banner of donating grain.
In this way, the Japanese can collect a large number of private grains through this method. With this grain, the Japanese military can continue to suppress the Chinese army, which can be said to be a huge harm.
"At present, the large merchants and pseudo-government officials in the occupied areas have sent representatives to Taiyuan to organize a mobilization meeting for the grain donation campaign, and to distribute grain on the spot. It is ten days later, that is, the 28th. Our mission is to destroy this event, and it is best to ruin this matter."
After listening to Cao Rui'an's introduction, Xu Chengyan suddenly remembered that what Zhang Zhiyuan said before was that the reason why the Rixing Society forced the Zhang family to hand over the stored food was here.
But as Cao Rui'an said, this task is indeed too difficult. The grain donation campaign involves so much that it is impossible to stop it with the power of Taiyuan Station. Moreover, even if it destroys the convening of the mobilization meeting, it can only be delayed for a while. What can you do?
Seeing Xu Chengyan not speaking, Cao Rui'an knew what he thought, smiled slightly, and said again: "The webmaster also knows that our abilities are limited, so what he meant was to try to destroy the convening of this mobilization meeting. Remember, try to do what he wanted!
The worst thing is that they can't let this work so smoothly, and they can delay it for a while."
"Understood!"
Xu Chengyan nodded heavily. In fact, compared with the previous assassination and retaliation operations, this operation is more strategic and more in line with the scope of intelligence work.
However, the specific implementation measures are very limited. In the final analysis, it is just to engage in sabotage. For Taiyuan Station, the practice is nothing more than assassination, blasting, etc. This is also the most commonly used method of the Military Commission, which is essentially no different from before.
"I took on this task, but the question is too big and I dare not guarantee it. I can only try my best to do it. I will do it as much as possible. I will go back and think about the specific plan, and report it to you immediately after confirming it!"
Xu Chengyan didn't say anything to death because he was indeed unsure, and Cao Rui'an certainly understood.
In fact, when Chu Guangji assigned this task, he was in charge of the meaning that as long as the Japanese wanted to do it, Taiyuan Station would do its best to destroy it. Although there was only a limited amount of what they could do, he could not watch the Japanese get what they wanted. His responsibilities were all indecent.
"Okay, you can formulate an action plan as soon as possible. This matter is of great importance. Your intelligence team must do its best. If you lack manpower or lack money and materials, just mention it and I will fully support you!"
The mission was followed, and the two of them discussed some details before leaving separately.
The next morning, the investigation department of the Xinmin Association and the investigation department sent out had already figured out the situation. Wang Wenzhi, the leader of the operation team, summarized the situation and reported to Ma Weide: "Chief, we have figured out the situation. In the east area of the city, there are six shops with such black fabrics. According to the operation time of the assassination of the Yoshioka team leader, in the previous few days, there were two sales records, including Baoyixiang cloth store, four of which were sold at one time. This quantity can definitely make eighteen sets of police uniforms."
"I know who bought it?" Mavid asked quickly.
"According to their recollection, they were the owner of a small tailor shop on Dongyang Street, named Liu Youxue."
"Liu Youxue?"
Mavid quickly checked the previous list of twelve suspicious people, and the name of "Liu Youxue" was among them, and two clues matched.
With a "bang!", Mavid slapped the table with a palm, "It's him! Arrest secretly right away."
The group was about to go out, but at this moment, the phone ringing on the table rang, and Mavid had to turn around and pick up the phone.
The phone call was called by Yamada Oto from the Special High School. This is the progress of the investigation again. Yamada Oto has to call such a phone call once or twice a day, which shows how urgent it is.
"Master, I have already achieved results here, my goal is clear, and I am about to arrest..."
Mavid explained the results of the investigation, and Yamada Otomo could no longer sit still and ordered Mavid to take action quickly and send the person to the Special High School for interrogation.
After putting down the phone, Mavid felt quite uncomfortable. He was busy and managed it, but finally got a result. Yamada Otomo asked him to send the person over with just one word, and his attitude was arrogant and domineering, which made people unacceptable.
This person is far inferior to Masao Yoshioka in terms of temperament and cultivation. If it were Masao Yoshioka, at least he would have given him a few words of warm encouragement at this time.
Mavid complained a few words in his heart, but he was helpless. As an external organization of the Special High School Course, he had to obey Yamada's command unconditionally. Thinking that Yamada's Otomo would officially take over as the intelligence team leader soon, Mavid felt even more helpless.
The arrest was very smooth. Mavid brought a few plainclothes to the door. Liu Youxue did not resist at all. He was scared to death at the gun. When he was sent to the special high school class, he couldn't even get out of the car. When he was dragged to the interrogation room, he was shocked by the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere and was even more limp. Before Yamada Otomo had been tortured, he quickly figured out everything.
One night in more than half a month, a stranger came to the door. After meeting, he threw out a pile of thick banknotes, saying that he wanted Liu Youxue to make a batch of police uniforms, and the faster the better, the price was not a problem.
But despite this, Liu Youxue was timid and afraid of things, so he refused at the time, but then he was pressed against his forehead by a gun. Someone said that since Liu Youxue already knew about this, he had no choice but to cooperate, otherwise he would be blood splattering on the spot.
On the one hand, he was killed and silenced after refusing, but on the other hand, he obeyed the order and took the money.
Besides, the other party was generous and his business was in a downturn. The money was enough for his income for several years, so Liu Youxue quickly chose the latter.
When the other party saw Liu Youxue agreeing, he left a piece of paper with clearly indicating the size of the clothes, indicating the three-day period, and then left.
Afterwards, Liu Youxue and his wife worked overtime to complete the batch of police uniforms. Later, the other party came to the door again on time and took away the police uniforms, but disappeared.
"That's all?" Yamada Otomo's eyes showed a fierce light, and he stared at his prey like a wolf. "You are not honest, where is the paper with the size?"
"Burn... it's burned. I dare not keep that kind of thing. After making the clothes, I burned it..." Liu Youxue shivered all over and couldn't even speak.
Looking at Liu Youxue's appearance, Yamada Otomo and Mavid knew that such people could not have the courage to lie, which means that this clue was broken again.
Both of them were extremely disappointed, especially Yamada Otomo. He finally found the flaws in the police uniform, hoping to go through this line to find the whereabouts of the Military Control Commission agents, seize the Viper Viper, avenge Masao Yoshioka, and take this opportunity to consolidate his position and be promoted to the position of intelligence team leader. However, after such great efforts, there was such a consequence in the end.
Mavid did not give up. He bent down and asked again, "What does this person look like?"
"It's about thirties, about the same height as me, with a square face and a very ordinary appearance." Liu Youxue replied honestly.
Mavid shook his head in disappointment. Liu Youxue was not tall and even a little low among the northerners. This was inconsistent with the situation he had obtained before. He turned around and whispered to Yamada Otomo: "It shouldn't be a viper and a viper!"
Yamada Otomo had a blue face and waved his hand to order: "This person is not honest and tortured. If he can't find that person, he and his family will be punished."
A word suddenly made Liu You's soul fly away. His family of six were all over. He wailed, rushed forward, grabbed Yamada's ankle with one hand, and cried and begged.
But to no avail, two burly men stepped forward and pulled him up and tied him to a wooden stake, and they were punished and punished.
Mavid waved his hand again to stop the torture. His eyes were sharp. He had just observed Liu Youxue's eyes flashing with a hint of hesitation, so he patiently persuaded: "Boss Liu, think about it again. We know that you are not a Chongqing member, but are just being used by others. But it would be worthwhile to pay the life of the family for an irrelevant person."
Liu Youxue opened his mouth and finally said, "I look familiar with this person, but I don't dare to confirm it, for fear of being wronged by the good person."
Yamada Otomo's eyes lit up immediately. He stepped forward, grabbed Liu Youxue's collar, and shouted sternly: "Who is it? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Youxue was so scared by Yamada Oto, and he stammered and replied: "It's just a bit similar. More than a month ago, one day it rained heavily. I went to school to pick up my son home. During this period, I saw a school worker.
